Estimation Bias in Maximum Entropy Models

Estimation Bias in Maximum Entropy Models

Maximum entropy models have become popular statistical models in neuroscience and other areas in biology and can be useful tools for obtaining estimates of mutual information in biological systems. However, maximum entropy models fit to small data sets can be subject to sampling bias; i.e., the true...
